[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
During our trip to Namibia we had the pleasure to meet the incredible Himba tribe in one of their villages near Opuwu. We wanted to bring them something they'll like apart from the routine gift - rice and flour. We don't like to give sweets to people with no regular access to a dentist so we brought balloons. It was probably the first time they saw it and was extatic.

Allô Oren!
Intéressante photo de ces deux enfants avec leurs ballons. J'aime bien les tons de sépia. Beau travail.
Félicitations!...

Lovely colors and composition, eventhough it's from the back the kids curiousity over the baloons can be felt !
